Call your TA @Eighty8

I'm not sure what's confusing. Swim diapers are only allowed in the baby splash zone.. If your activities absolutely have to include being with your little ones and them being in water, then I guess that's where you'll be. You might see if they are interested in Adventure Ocean to give you some time apart, or possibly other activities beyond swimming. That's really up to you.

Thanks for this. Starting to really look good.

I want to. I really enjoyed the sailing but we had bad weather in ports. Five out of 8 of us have caught Covid so remain diligent in that regard. I'll take these mild symptoms for that sailing any day.

Sorry to have missed you, I was onboard last week. There are public computers on deck 8 off the Aft elevators. I believe it's the second level of the Library that is Deck 7 Aft Elevators. There were several machines there in case you need them. Enjoy your cruise and thanks for sharing!

You can absolutely have a picture taken together. The restriction I think you're referring to is being able to get pictures of people in other cabins with the picture package. As long as someone from your cabin is in the photo, you can get that picture in the package. If it's just a picture of the others without you, it doesn't qualify for reasons I think are obvious. In practice though, if they gave your room number there is a good chance it shows up on your kiosk and you can include it in the package.

Like this one on cruisemummy https://www.cruisemummy.co.uk/cruise-drinks-package-calculator/

Try to reserve once you're onboard, if still sold out, show up about 30 minutes early and stand in the stand by line. You'll likely get in. I'm not sure what your question is about drinks, but they are available once you board at open establishments.

It says it in the app that it's free on Day 1 and port days for kids under 12. We had a thread here last year on it and someone was going to confirm, but never did. App doesn't say if an adult purchase is required, but it probably is

I've always called it Sorentinos (even knowing full well it's Sorrentos) because where I grew up there was a pizza joint called Sorentinos. The weirdest things make it back to you in life.

Another thing that is going to impact pricing and probably downward are after cruise reviews. At this point it's all hype and expectation for Icon the ship and the class of ships. Next month cruisers are going to begin sailing and the cruise line will need to live up to that hype. I think they've really set the bar high for themselves and even when Icon is a really great new ship with some great new features, we're going to see tons of "It's not worth it" type of reviews. I'm booked in a few months on Icon and I expect to enjoy it, but I don't expect even the teenagers are going to say this is worth 3x cruises on other classes of ships.

Also a nasal rinse guy here. Fill out the special needs form, choose the CPAP option for the Distilled water. It's always just there waiting for you.

Totally understandable, but you can see even in this situation he came through within hours and his built in 10 day cushion on final payment was protecting you the entire time. You're going to have a great time!

I'm with @SpeedNoodleson this. Maybe you can find someone to effectively be a house sitter for you while you are away. Often late teen/college aged kids do this and if there is someone doing it who you already know or whose family you already know, that's a bonus. If my wife's sister can't come and stay with the dog, we've moved to this route and frankly, I'm pretty sure that both the house and dogs are in better shape than when my SIL comes.

I'm going to pile on and also agree with @RCIfan1912. You're going to love it.

I think you and I agree. I also think the Dr Note is over the top. The requirement for Refreshment package though is what I think is not insane but normal and what the poster should be expecting as the outcome. I can see that I wasn't clear in my post. Based on the rest of his post, I certainly question whether the couple will find value in a DBP plus Refreshment package vs a la carte.

So other than booking outside of the booking promotion window and sailing during one of the clearly stated blackout periods you feel you are qualified and should get the KSF discount is that right? I think you should actually want their advertisement to be false, in particular where they define the booking window and blackout periods. Then you'd be all set! Ok, sarcasm aside if you just booked a month ago prices may still be similar and you may want to look at moving your sailing to a week earlier where you would then qualify. If you booked non-refundable deposit you will be on the hook for a change fee, but overall you may make out. I'm not sure of the quality of Vacations to Go, but now is when you could really use the help of a seasoned and skilled Travel Agent. Congrats on your 50th. The cruise is going to be so much fun for all of you.

I'm not sure that's middle class.

Young lady, I don't want to hear you speaking so recklessly about RUB money! Priorities!

A plug for sure. Unscrew the screw out of there and put in a plug. not sure who you have coming, but I wouldn't be shocked if a "tire guy" told you that you need to replace it and that you should probably replace all four. But this is a plug situation. Think about it this way, if you buy a new tire, there's no going back, if you plug it and it doesn't hold (it will hold), you can always replace the tire then.

This would be me. I am not one that can operate in reasonable limits. I am all on or all off. Casino for me sadly is an all off. For those with regular self control, I love to see you leveraging an enjoyment you have and doing the math to save some money and cruise more.

You are asking for an exception to the rule, it's not insane for them to want some justification. I do agree with @SpeedNoodles though that if you call back you can probably avoid the Dr. Note. On the refreshment package, you're going to need to get that. If your wife were not pregnant you both would have to get the DBP so your exception doesn't alleviate this need. You just need to factor in whether the cost of the DBP and the Refreshment package make sense vs a la carte if your wife really isn't going to drink anything but water. You may be better off with the water package and you both just paying a la carte for your drinks. I suspect you will be.

Bait and Switch is a legal term and it's a crime. This is not that. Call it deceptive if you want, but there isn't endless inventory and the marketplace is dynamic. What should they do when they have limited inventory and reduce a price? Not tell anyone for fear that there aren't enough to go around?

It is not Bait and Switch, it is Loss Leader in the case of GGG. Classic Bait and Switch the seller never has the intention of selling at the original advertised price. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/bait_and_switch A “bait and switch” takes place when a seller creates an appealing but ingenuine offer to sell a product or service, which the seller does not actually intend to sell. This initial advertised offer is “the bait.” Then the seller switches customers from buying the advertised product or service that the seller initially offered into buying a different product or service that is usually at a higher price or has some other advantageous effect to the advertiser. This is the “switch.” Normally, the switched product that the consumer buys is usually at a higher purchase price, an increased profit for the seller, or may have a less marketable characteristic than the product advertised. A “bait and switch” is different from a "loss-leader" sale, which is when a seller specifically notifies the customer that only a limited number of units of a product are for sale at a discount. “Bait and switch” advertising is grounds for an action of common-law fraud, unjust enrichment, and sometimes breach of contract. A “bait and switch” is also a violation of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
